Thailand a country we have visited so often and love so much we keep returning year after year. It has so much to offer, a rich culture, excellent food, you can get lost in the mountains of the North, and the crystal clear waters of the South are excellent for exploring what lies beneath. WithContinue reading “First Time in Thailand?”

Klong Muang Beach
Klong Muang beach is only 10 miles from Ao Nang but in reality they are a million miles apart. Walking around Ao Nang feels akin to a touristy European town. It is brimming with Western-style restaurants and the amount of souvenir and tailor shops all touting for business is disappointing. The overall vibe of AoContinue reading “Klong Muang Beach”
Koh Klang
Koh Klang may be only a 10 minute boat journey from Krabi town, but it feels like you are stepping into a different world, as Koh Klang has preserved the old ways of southern Thai Muslim culture. There are no cars on the island, and Islam’s traditional moral guidelines are strictly adhered to, and thisContinue reading “Koh Klang”
Koh Libong
Although Koh Libong is the biggest island in Trang Province, it has a real local feel where the traditional Muslim culture is still followed, fishing is the main industry and tourism secondary. The island only has three resorts and all are situated on the western side of the island on Haad Lang Kao beach. TheContinue reading “Koh Libong”
Ao Nang
Ao Nang is probably the first place that people landing in Krabi visit as it is by far the biggest tourist spot. It also caters for all budgets from backpacker hostels to five star hotels. Idyllic it certainly isn’t, for such a popular beach destination, Ao Nang beach leaves a lot to be desired. However thereContinue reading “Ao Nang”
Koh Jum (Pu)
Koh Jum is 18 miles from Krabi Town, 15 miles from Koh Lanta and only 12 miles from Phi Phi, but in reality it’s like a million miles away. The nightlife is very low key and mostly around beach bars which are closed by 11pm. It has a real local feel where the traditional MuslimContinue reading “Koh Jum (Pu)”
Koh Lipe
This is one of our favourite small islands but, if you are looking for a party island, you will be disappointed as Lipe is a laid back tropical island, where you will find vibrant coral reefs. As it is one of the best locations in Thailand for snorkelling and diving, beach lovers will not beContinue reading “Koh Lipe”
Koh Lanta (Yai)
One of our favorite islands, as it has distinct area that are all different, and is big enough to return to year after year without the full blown over development of Phuket or the pure party feel of Koh Phi Phi. There is a real mix of Muslim-Thai, Chinese-Thai and Urak Lawoi (Sea Gypsies) thatContinue reading “Koh Lanta (Yai)”
